Ships from Carnival, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Disney cruise lines are among those being monitored by the CDC.
The CDC investigates a ship if there are one or more reported COVID-19 cases among the crew or if cases reported account for at least 0.10% of total passengers in the past week.
According to the CDC, the agency works with the cruise ship to ensure medical resources on board aren’t overwhelmed, and to lower transmission rates. The ships being watched are operating under “health and safety protocols that align with CDC’s standards for protecting passengers, crew, port personnel, and communities by mitigating the public health risks posed by COVID-19,” the agency said.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, tweeted on Tuesday that cruises should stop operating. “Time for CDC & cruise lines to protect consumers & again pause—docking their ships,” he said. Our warnings have proved sadly prescient & continuously compelling. Time for CDC & cruise lines to protect consumers & again pause—docking their ships. Cruises are repeating recent history as petri dishes of COVID infection.
